Beer?

[John the Monkey]

Tonight;

Lancaster Black stout. Really nice one this - the smoky flavour you'd expect at first, becoming a lighter citrus hoppiness.

Why are you selling TB? I'm hoping you haven't decided to knock brewing on the head!

Just scaling back to a reasonable level, having 300 litres of beer in the shed made me think
I have a little 50 litre brewery that's not as flash but makes just as good beer and it takes up soo much less room

Some poncey tasting notes for @rich p. I didn't get to try the Haka - it sold out in six hours. But it will be back. Oakham JHB for me tonight, and Arbor's Blue Sky Drinking.

I'm guessing that is straight from the sump, you hard Scottish git?

I'll tell you what, it's bloody lovely.

It's been 'sold out' for ages, have they made some more for general sale then or it is for jocks only?

Edit: scrap that, I'm thinking of Engineers Reserve. Duh...

I spotted it in Morrisons in Hawick today - I was surprised to see it, but only got one bottle; I wish I had got a lot more as it'll be a long while til I am back that way.

Black Isle organic Red Kite Ale. A lovely beer, malty with a nice crisp bitterness to it. Och.

Nice graphic on the label too.

The old landlord of my local used to stock that - he discovered it on his honeymoon, which was on the Black Isle. Nice beer.

Middle-class nobber alert! I got mine delivered with my organic veg box.

Early doors!

Early doors!

Ha! Just back from the pub?

 

[User169]

Last one tonight, ever or from the supply?

Turns out I, er, nodded off after that post having had about one sup of the Fullers. On the other hand I can only say that I wish more breakfasts were as civilised as today's!

A fairly absta, absteme, abstempuo, abstemouse, oh you know what I mean, afternoon at Kasteel DP.

From L-R.

A Dutch bokbier - usually horribly sweet, but this had a decent amount of cascade and was aged on oak, so half decent.

A DIPA from Bizkaia. Wow! Terrific. Passion fruit and mandarin flavour, lots of bitterness balanced with a decent slug of malt. Reminds me a bit of Heady Topper.

21g from DeMo. This is 21g hops/litre. This is superb, but typically and frustratingly DeMo. Whilst they occasionally kick out a world-beater like this, they don't half brew some stinkers!
